Trump Delays Tariffs and Appoints New Kennedy Center Board Members
In a surprising turn of events, President Donald Trump has decided to delay imposing certain tariffs on Canada and Mexico for another month. This decision marks a significant shift after he had earlier announced unprecedented tariffs on these major U.S. partners earlier in the week, an action that led to volatility in the markets. On Friday, amid his series of executive orders at the White House, Trump held his first-ever cryptocurrency summit with industry leaders.

Trump Appoints Fox News Hosts to Kennedy Center Board
On Friday evening, President Trump revealed he is appointing Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo to the Kennedy Center board, just a month after dismissing the chair and several other board members. “I am delighted to announce that Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo will join our Kennedy Center Board - completing our chosen team,” Trump declared on his social media platform. “We are eager to restore the Center to its former glory, heralding America’s new Golden Age of the Arts. Together, we will Make the Arts Great Again!” Several artists, including Shonda Rhimes, have resigned from the board or canceled their performances at the Kennedy Center, citing concerns over Trump’s influence.
